of 18.0 V DC.
Charging the battery
Only put original batteries into the

Try to avoid causing the machine to jam. When this
happens, it requires an excessive amount of energy,
which means that the battery becomes discharged
sooner and is subject to higher wear.
If you notice that you have to charge the battery
more and more frequently, it is spent and must be
replaced.
Observe the instructions for disposal.
Battery cap
A battery cap 5 is enclosed in the delivery to allow
you to protect the contacts of the battery when it
is removed.
Fit this cap 5 over the battery contacts when
storing, transporting or disposing of the battery.
If the battery cap is not fi tted, loose metal parts
could short-circuit the contacts, creating a danger
of
fi re and explosion.
